Master branch driver. I have very much "RX dropped" packets. So, wifi is not stable. WPA2 over wpa_supplicant. CPU load around 0%. wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr E0:B2:F1:FB:98:EB inet addr:192.168.0.209 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:4109 errors:0 dropped:705 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:503 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1917038 (1.8 MiB) TX bytes:402965 (393.5 KiB)

The master branch is provided as a service; however, all recent development is on the version in the 3.15 and later kernels. That code is copied back to GitHub and is found in the kernel_version branch. Any problems with performance and stability should be conducted using that code.

You do not mention what kernel you are using, but my recommendation is that you use 3.15 and test the in-kernel code.

I use 3.0 kernel on imx6 ARM device. For this device, only this kernel are available.
